Jesus Resurrection of the Dead Is the Greatest Miracle

Jesus raised four bodies back to life!! Jesus performed many miracles, but none was greater than

bringing a dead body back to life. Jesus said to the dead body of Lazarus: “Lazarus come forth.”

With that simple command Jesus delivered a fantastic miracle in which he repaired and instantly

reassembled the dead body of Lazarus. Note that Jesus had to identify Lazarus by name. If he had

not, all the dead would have come to life in those tombs.

Modern medical science proves this was a great miracle from Jesus. While the eyewitnesses in that

time recognized that it was a miracle, all of us today should give glory to Jesus because we now

understand what an amazing medical and spiritual feat this is.

With only a word, Jesus repaired all broken and dead brain connections called synapses with just a

command. A synapse connects the nerve cells in our brain. Each of us has more than 100 trillion

synaptic connections in our brain. At the same time Jesus restored the DNA in 70 trillion cells

throughout the body. All of this means Jesus was truly God, and not just a messenger or prophet.


Raising one person to life is amazing, but Jesus raised not just one but FOUR people from the dead.

First, Jesus raised the widow’s son in the village of Nain.

Luke 7:14‐15 (NASB)

And He came up and touched the coffin; and the bearers came to a halt. And He said, “Young man,

I say to you, arise!” The dead man sat up and began to speak. And Jesus gave him back to his

mother.

Second, Jesus raised the 12‐year‐old daughter of Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue.

Mark 5:41‐42 (NASB)

Taking the child by the hand, He said to her, “Talitha kum!” (which translated means, “Little girl, I

say to you, get up!”). Immediately the girl got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old.

And immediately they were completely astounded.

Third, Jesus raised Lazarus, the brother of Mary and Martha in Bethany after he had been dead four

days.

John 11:43‐44 (NASB)

When He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth.” The man

who had died came forth, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around

with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”


And fourth, Jesus raised his human form from the dead after he had been crucified because Jesus and

the Father are the same one God.

John 10:17‐18 (NASB)

“For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it up again. No

one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it

down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.”

The human body is so complex that it is impossible that Jesus rose naturally from the dead. Even

today our medical science cannot come close to creating a single cell, let alone bring a dead body to

life. The Bible tells us God raised Jesus from the dead. This is so difficult that even today only the

true God could do this.

Acts 2:24 (NASB)

But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him

to be held in its power.

Look more closely at one of the four resurrections done by Jesus, the resurrection of Lazarus. When

Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, he had been dead four days. By this time his organ systems and

underlying cells would have broken down and started to decay. His sister said he had a bad odor.

The reconstruction job for Jesus was massive and it seemed impossible!


John 11:39 (NASB)

Jesus said, “Remove the stone.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to Him, “Lord, by this time

there will be a stench, for he has been dead four days.”

By far the most difficult restoration of Lazarus was his

brain. The human brain has been described as the

most complex system known in the universe. With

just a command Jesus needed to instantly rebuild and

restore 100 trillion connections between nerve cells

called synapses.

Modern science today cannot build one synapse. If

you could build one synapse a second, it would take

you more than 3 million years to complete the job. Of

course, by the time you finished all the other synapses

would have died.


At the same time the brain was restored more than 70 trillion cells all throughout the body of Lazarus

were also dead. Each cell needed to be rebuilt and made functional. Each cell is very complex and

has many components such as the mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, cytoplasm and ribosomes. Jesus

needed to make each of these work in every cell at the same time he was rebuilding the brain.

Science has never made a single cell. If you could build one cell per second it would take you more

than 2 million years to build all the cells in the body.

Jesus had to restore the immune system of Lazarus all at once. In the immune system there are two

main types of leukocytes or white blood cells. The two broad types are phagocytes and lymphocytes.

There are several types of phagocytes, including neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages and mast

cells. Together they have many jobs, including helping

to heal wounds and defend against pathogens.

Jesus also had to restore lymphocytes. Lymphocytes (B

and T cells) help the body to remember previous

invaders and recognize them if they come back to

attack again. T lymphocytes destroy compromised

cells in the body and help alert other leukocytes. Jesus

needed to instantly create more than two trillion T

cells while other cells and the brain were restored at

the same time.


JESUS RESTORED THE DNA GENOME IN 70 TRILLION CELLS

Jesus had to restore the DNA of Lazarus. The human body contains 70 trillion cells. Jesus restored

the DNA in all 70 trillion cells at once. Each cell in the body contains a complete copy of the

approximately 3 billion DNA base pairs, or letters, that make up the human genome in every cell. The

3 billion pairs must also be placed in exactly the correct sequence.

If you could correctly assemble one DNA base pair per second, it would take you 100 years to rebuild

the DNA for a single cell, or 7,000 trillion years for all 70 trillion cells.

While doing all this Jesus also had to rebuild and restart all other organ systems such as the heart,

kidneys, liver and lung, remove all blood clots, restore trillions of red blood cells, restore trillions of

clotting factors, create 2 trillion platelets, and restore many hundreds of different hormone types.


WE CAN BE CERTAIN JESUS DID THIS

How can we be certain this happened? Because Jesus was raised from the dead. We have three

solid proofs to be sure that Jesus was himself was raised from the dead. First, Jesus certainly died.

No one could survive his beatings and crucifixion. Second, the empty tomb. The empty tomb of

Jesus is a generally accepted fact of both Christians and non‐Christians alike. No one ever reliably

claimed to have found the dead body of Jesus.

Third, the resurrection appearances. Jesus appeared to Mary, then the disciples, then Thomas and

then to more than 500 people.

John 20:16 (NASB)

Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” (which means,

Teacher).

Mark 16:14 (NASB)

Afterward He appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He

reproached them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those

who had seen Him after He had risen.


1 Corinthians 15:6 (NASB)

After that He appeared to more than 500 brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now,

but some have fallen asleep;

Modern medical science proves the resurrection is only from God. We know that God loved us and

gave us the gift of a sacrifice from his son Jesus Christ. God caused Jesus Christ to die for our sins and

then raised him up from the dead.

Because of the sacrifice all who

believe in Christ will have eternal

presence with God.

Those that reject Christ will be

forever separated from God on the

day of judgment. ) No one

understands the scientific workings of

the body better than Jesus. Jesus

created you and Jesus defeated

death.

Psalm 139:13‐14 (NASB)

For you formed my inward parts; you wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for

I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are your works, and my soul knows it very well.

Isaiah 25:8 (NASB)

He will swallow up death for all time, and the Lord God will wipe tears away from all faces, and he

will remove the reproach of his people from all the earth; for the Lord has spoken.

This is the true story of Jesus. If you still don’t believe in Jesus as the Son of God you should know

Jesus loves you. Jesus is God and one with the Father and Spirit. Jesus is not just a messenger. Only

Jesus takes away our sins because he rose from the dead. Jesus is returning soon.


IF YOU ARE A MUSLIM‐‐WHAT DOES JESUS WANT YOU TO DO NEXT?

Did Jesus appear to you in a dream? Has the Holy Spirit visited you? Would just a prophet appear to

you, or was it the Son of God, the risen Jesus? Yes, it was Jesus the risen Son of God! Jesus is

appearing to many Muslims to give them the truth. He wants you to be saved.

Muslims know the Koran teaches that Jesus was born of a

virgin (19:20); that He is among those closest to God

(3:45); that He taught a message of kindness and

compassion (57:27); that He healed the sick and raised the

dead by the power of God (3:49); that He miraculously fed

the hungry (5:112.); that He is alive now in heaven (3:55);

and that He will return at the end of the age (43:61).

Muslims also know the Koran says that Jesus is the

Messiah and the Word of God (3:45 and 4:171).

At the same time, however, most Muslims have been told that Jesus did not die on a cross. They

believe He did not rise from the dead or atone for human sin, and that people should not worship

Him as God. When you take away these truths of Jesus—you take away his salvation for you. The

truth is Jesus the Son of God, died for you and rose to life. This Jesus is the only path to God.

Following any other path will result in being cast away from God on the coming Day of Judgment.

Muslims often feel most strongly, however, that it is deeply offensive to refer to Jesus as the Son of

God. But Jesus himself said He was the Son of God when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. (John

11:4 When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so

that God’s Son may be glorified through it.”) So believe him!!

Muslims have been taught that the One God of Abraham is not triune (three in one) and has not

become incarnate among us. Though they believe the New Testament, Torah, and Psalms are God’s

inerrant Word in the original manuscripts, most have been told a falsehood that people have altered

the original text that the Bible we have today is not reliable. The Bible text is reliable and true.

As a Muslim, you should do the following:

Pray that you receive the Holy Spirit

Read the Gospel of John—it will teach you that Jesus is the risen Son of God

Ask a Christian friend to explain the Gospel to you

In John 15:7 Jesus said: “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish,

and it will be done for you.” Jesus will hear your prayers.


IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN‐‐WHAT DOES JESUS COMMAND YOU TO DO?

The West is not dealing with Islam and Muslims according to God’s will. We are in a vast spiritual

war, and the West has been deceived to believe we are in a physical war. The spiritual war will never

be won with tanks and armies. Only the true Gospel of Jesus defeats the satanic forces of the

spiritual war. Jesus expects us to make disciples out of all people—including Muslims that have been

taught a false doctrine about Jesus the risen Son of God.

Jesus commanded all Christians to share the Gospel. He commanded us to pray for our enemies. No

one needs the true Gospel more than Muslims. Today many of us have Muslim friends or coworkers,

or perhaps you know a Muslim thinking about God. The Prophet Joel promised us in the last days the

true God’s Spirit would be poured out.

Joel 2:28 (NIV)

And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will

prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.

Today Jesus is actively appearing to many Muslims in dreams. If a refugee or stranger asks you what

their dream of Jesus means, what will you tell them? Jesus commands us to make disciples of all

people. He also tells us to pray for those that do not know the Gospel. Jesus will answer our prayers.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus said He will lose none of all those he has been, but raise will them up at

the last day. The Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have

eternal life, and Jesus will raise them up at the last day. The Bible tells us Christ will return soon. We

need to gather as many souls as possible before Jesus returns in all His Glory. The harvest is very

ripe—but the workers are too few in number.

As a Christian following Jesus, you should do the following:

Pray that Muslims and other nonbelievers receive the Holy Spirit

Give them an Arabic copy of the Gospel of John—it will clearly teach Jesus is the risen Son of

God

Be prepared to explain the Gospel to Muslims who have questions

Be prepared to easily explain why the Gospel is true and was never corrupted

Be prepared to explain the Triune God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) is much like water which

also exists in three forms (ice, liquid, and steam) but it is still water

Explain that the advocate (Spirit of Truth) that will live in us promised by Jesus in John 14 was

the Holy Spirit and not a prophecy of the future false prophet Mohammad

Explain that fulfilled prophecy only exists in the Bible and not the Koran

Pray with Muslims every day that they understand the truth while there is still some time

before Jesus returns and it is too late
